10. BENDING
Bending Machine is used to bend the square or trapezoidal
bar into ring form
The bending m/c has three rollers
A. Upper roller
B. Right roller
C. Left roller
The rod is kept on the left & right roller
and then press by the upper roller then
move in the clockwise direction.
11. BENDING BENIFITS AND DISADANTAGES
Building out from each end enables
construction to be done with little
disruption to navigation below
The span can be greater than that of
a simple beam, because a beam can
be added to the cantilever arms

15. Trimming is the processes in which unwanted and
extra material is removed by the special tool.
TRIMMING
APPLICATIONS

transported to the work site on a road-rail vehicle)
Chains
Steel wheels
Sheets or rods of steel in rolling mills.
Starter rings

17. NORMALIZING
A necessary first step in the heat treatment process involves
"normalizing," a process designed to present a homogenous
microstructure to the carburizing process
Normalizing is a process that involves heating a part above
the upper critical temperature and then typically air cooling
outside the furnace to relieve residual stresses in a gear
blank and to aid dimensional stability.
PRODUCT AND MACHINE SPECIFICATION
Hardness - 85-95 HRB
Grain size - 5-8 ASTM
Micro structure - normalized structure
Uniformly distributed ferrite
with pearlite
Power level - 24%-28%
Heating time - 20-25 sec
Min temperature - 800 ·c
Max temperature - 890 ·c
18. COLD SIZING
Cold sizing is a squeezing operation performed at temperatures
significantly below the melting point to finish the surface of a work
piece to ensure better dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
PRODUCT AND MACHINE SPECIFICATION
Specification for part NI-XH5
Internal diameter - 287.5±0.5 mm at three points
Ovality - 0.40 mm max
Flatness - 0.40 mm max
Trimming depth on both faces - ±0.50 mm
Hydraulic pressure - min 130 kg/cm²

19. CNC MACHINE
CNC means Computer Numerical Control. This means a computer
converts the design produced by Computer Aided Design software
(CAD), into numbers. The numbers can be considered to be the
coordinates of a graph and they control the movement of the cutter. In
this way the computer controls the cutting and shaping of the material
20. ADVANTAGES
CNC machines are programmed with a
design which can then be manufactured
hundreds or even thousands of times.
Each manufactured product will be
exactly the same.
CNC machines can be updated by
improving the software used to drive the
machines
Less skilled/trained people can operate
CNCs unlike manual lathes / milling
machines etc. which need skilled
engineers
APPLICATION
Industries for Fabricating Metals
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
Industry
CNC Turning
DISADVANTAGES
CNC machines are more expensive than
manually operated machines, although costs
are slowly coming down.
The CNC machine operator only needs basic
training and skills, enough to supervise
several machines. In years gone by, engineers
needed years of training to operate Centre
lathes, milling machines and other manually
operated machines. This means many of the
old skills are been lost.
21. QUALITY GATE 1
In the Ring Gear production are the following quality
check is to be done:-
ID (internal diameter)
OD (outer diameter)
OVALITY
GEAR PROFILE
MOT (Measurement of Teeth)
DOP (diameter of pin)
23. HOBBING
Hobbing is a machining process for gear cutting, cutting splines,
and cutting sprockets on a hobbing machine, which is a special
type of milling machine.
It is the most widely used gear cutting process for creating
spur and helical gears and more gears are cut by hobbing
than any other process since it is relatively quick and
inexpensive.

26. CHAMFERRING
A chamfer is a transitional edge between two vertices of an
object.
It can also be known as a bevel but connotes more often
cutting and more often 45°
"Chamfer" is a term commonly used in mechanical and
manufacturing engineering.

27. PUNCHING AND WASHING
Punching:-
Punching is a metal forming process that uses a punch
press to force a tool, called a punch, through the work
piece to create a hole via shearing. The punch often passes
through the work into a die. A scrap slug from the hole is
deposited into the die in the process
This is use to punch the batch/lot number on face of ring
gear.
Washing
Washing is basically an industrial bath. In this processes
ring gear is washed out the industrial chemical which
remove the unwanted material and provide a protection layer
to ring gear from the corrosion
28. INDUCTION HARDENING
Induction hardening uses induced heat and rapid cooling
(quenching) to increase the hardness and durability of steel.
Induction is a no-contact process that quickly produces
intense, localized and controllable heat.

mechanical properties such as toughness and ductility in
workpieces that have already been hardened.
The main advantage of induction over furnace tempering is
speed

31. QUALITY GATE 2
Quality control, or QC for short, is a process by which entities review the quality of all
factors involved in production. ISO 9000 defines quality control as "A part of quality
management focused on fulfilling quality requirements"
This approach places an emphasis on three aspects
1. Elements such as controls, job management, defined and well managed
processes, performance and integrity criteria, and identification of records
2. Competence, such as knowledge, skills, experience, and qualifications
3. Soft elements, such as personnel, integrity, confidence, organizational
culture, motivation, team spirit, and quality relationships.
Controls include product inspection, where every product is examined visually, and
often using a stereo microscope for fine detail before the product is sold into the
external market. Inspectors will be provided with lists and descriptions of
unacceptable product defects such as cracks or surface blemishes for example
